Umbrella

It's been quite a dark and dreary week, especially for May, so I decided to dress the part. This amazing vintage dress is one of my newest finds. A friend of mine was letting it go and I had to claim it as my own. Made from a lightweight cotton, this dress features the cutest chevron style drop waist, red piping, ties at the shoulders, and a full gathered skirt. Of course, the best part is the red umbrella print. It's truly a one of a kind dress that now has a permanent place in my closet!

A few of my girlfriends and I went to the 25th anniversary screening of Beauty and the Beast on Monday. Not only did we get to watch the original 70mm film, we also listened to a discussion panel with many of the voices, animators, and producers. It was completely surreal. Beauty and the Beast has always been my favorite Disney movie and being a part of this event was truly a dream come true. I'm not going to lie, I teared up more than a few times! The next day I decided it was Bianca's turn to see the movie for the first time. Again, I cried like a baby watching her react to the movie, much like I did when I saw it 25 years ago. Being able to share things from my childhood is truly one of my favorite parts of parenting. I feel like it's passing on a piece of myself to her, so you can imagine the emotions that come with it. I'm just happy she likes Belle just as much as she does Elsa!

I'm a part-time stay at home mom and blog about my personal style whenever I have free time. I'm born and raised in sunny southern California. I have a happy little life with my husband, our three-year-old daughter, and our five rescue dogs (one golden mix, four chihuahuas, two with special needs). I enjoy shopping (of course), photography, and going on trips to Disneyland :). Enjoy!
